In the eyes of the industry, rapper�Bang Yong Gook is a rookie, but in the eyes of his fans, he's a formidable talent whose words and presence carries a certain gravity. Knowing this, the rapper (who previously worked with SECRET's Song Ji Eun for "Going Crazy" and released his own track "I Remember" with B2ST's Yoseob) personally penned an encouraging letter to his fans. Students in Korea are currently preparing to take the college entrance exam, and so Bang Yong Gook left the following message for them on his fan cafe:

"A score does not define who you are as a person. It's amazing that all of you are attempting to take a step towards your goals and dreams. Have confidence in yourselves and ace that college entrance exam."

He also hinted at a new project, by saying, "And just to give you a little update, I am working on a fun new project for all of my 'student' fans. I hope you will forward to it!" Bang Yong Gook's groupmate, Kim Himchan, also penned his own letter encouraging fans to do their best in tackling the challenges ahead. "It feels like just yesterday I was there to take the entrance exam, but that was already two years ago... I hope that the results of the tests will display the amount of time all of you spend studying for it. You guys ace your tests, and we'll ace it on stage next year", he wrote. Bang Yong Gook and Himchan are planning to debut with a male idol group early next year under TS Entertainment, home to girl group SECRET. Himchan is also MCing MTV's 'The Show' with Girls' Day member Hyeri.
